LATEST snow graphs show heavy snow engulfing Britain over the Easter bank holiday weekend – threatening the country with the worst Arctic whiteout of the year so far.

Britain is set to experience yet another deluge of snow as a net weather system from the East threatens the country with heavy snow and freezing temperatures.

Shocking weather graphs show a curtain of snow closing in on Britain starting on March 28 and peaking over the Easter Bank holiday weekend.

According to the graph a third of Britain is expected to experience some kind of snowfall, with Scotland facing an 80 percent chance of heavy snow.

Forecasters have warned that the freezing temperatures and widespread wintry showers threaten to keep Britain on ice into the middle of April.

James Madden,forecasterfor Exacta Weather, warned the coming weather system could "surpass" in quantity this year's previous snowfall.

Easter weather 2018: Latest graphs show Britain engulfed by a curtain of snow

He said: “Occasional wintry showers could start developing across high ground in northern and western regions really from now.

“However, more prominent changes will start to happen during the early to mid part of next week and we now expect frequent and heavy snow showers filtering in across many northern, western and eastern regions."

“This could surpass the recent snow events and bring some of the heaviest snowfall we have ever seen at this time of the year or at Easter.

“Again we could be looking at several feet snowdrifts, travel disruption and temperatures dipping as low as -10C (14F) or lower.”

TheMet Officechanged its forecasts for the weekend, warning of the "greater than normal chance of snow showers."

The Met Office long-range forecast read: "Showers will become more widespread for Wednesday, with snow for northern hills.

"For the rest of this period, the weather will remain changeable, with showers and rain at times, interspersed with drier and brighter interludes. Snow may also occur at times, more especially in the north. Temperatures are likely to be rather cold, with an increasing risk of overnight frosts.

"The Easter weekend is too far away to be confident with any details. The most likely scenario currently is a spell of colder than average weather, withincreasedlikelihood of overnight frosts, and a greater than normal chance of snow showers, especially in the north."

Bookmakers have slashed the odds on a White Easter with the risk of a third ‘Beast from the East’ hitting Britain.

SNOW WARNINGS have been issued by the Met Office across the UK today. See the latest weather forecast maps and charts for the UK.

Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead said: “We usually focus on a White Christmas but this year we’re seeing a rush of punters backing a White Easter. And given the forecasts, we really think they might be onto a winner.

“Right now we’re also predicting a very cold April and it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that it could be a record-breaking one.”

Government weathermen confirmed the cold spell will be driven by another Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) pattern in the Arctic.

The phenomenon, which triggered the savage March Beast from the East, stops mild westerly winds reaching Britain while opening the floodgates to bone-chilling easterlies.
